you can even try prawns or shrimps - but first please tell us how big or how old are your oscars? and what is the tank set-up? |

Since you have large Oscars pieces/chunks or cubes of goat/beef heart carefully cleaned and deviened would be ideal. Chicken flesh could also be used sometimes for a change. A bare bottom tank will help in easy maintenance. |
